​Benitez hopes Newcastle receive 'lucky referee decisions'

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez hopes his team can get some good fortune from officials for the rest of the season.

Benitez was not happy when a late goal from Wolves star Willy Boly was allowed, resulting in his side dropping two points in a vital game.

But he hopes that such luck can rub in his side's favour later in the season.

Benitez told Sky Sports: "Hopefully - that would be perfect, but you never know because the Premier League is very difficult.

"If we work the same way we have been working, and are lucky with the (refereeing) decisions, I think we can get three points in the next games."

Newcastle are still in the relegation dogfight, only a couple points away from the drop zone.
